What happens when AI knows what you want before you do?


@IrenaCronin and I write a free newsletter every week on different current AI topics.

Companies are moving beyond predicting purchases to shaping our desires, influencing our decisions, and quietly redefining consumer choice.

The big question: Are we still choosing what we want, or is AI choosing for us?

Humans may win by being messy, even in a world where AI optimizes everything.


@IrenaCronin and I write a free newsletter every week on different current AI topics.

AI is making consistency, optimization, and routine work easier to automate, which may make distinctly human qualities more valuable.

Judgment, intuition, creativity, emotion, and knowing when to challenge the machine could become some of the strongest advantages people bring to an AI-driven workplace.

This week we discuss how the AI that remembers you may be the hardest to leave.


@IrenaCronin and I write a free newsletter every week on different current AI topics.

AI memory could become one of the strongest forms of tech lock-in. The more an AI remembers about your habits, preferences, work, and history, the harder it may become to switch to a competitor, even if that competitor is technically better.

New problem: AI can make almost anyone look like an expert.

This week, @IrenaCronin and I discuss how deeper experience matters when using AI.

As polished work becomes cheap, the real advantage shifts to judgment, experience, taste, and knowing when AI is wrong.

This week we discuss that AI can scale faster than the grid can.

@IrenaCronin and I write a free newsletter every week on different current AI topics.

AI is scaling faster than the energy infrastructure needed to support it. As data centers demand more electricity, access to power, grid capacity, and new generation could become just as important to AI growth as chips, models, and computing power.

This week we cover, “Who watches the AI? Another AI.”


@IrenaCronin and I write a free newsletter every week on different current AI topics.

AI is becoming essential to managing AI itself. As companies deploy growing fleets of autonomous agents, AI supervisors may become critical for monitoring quality, security, permissions, and performance at a scale humans cannot handle alone, making AI management a foundational layer of future enterprise operations.

“How do you advertise to an AI?”


@IrenaCronin and I write this newsletter every week.

AI agents could reshape advertising by making purchasing decisions based more on price, performance, reliability, and verified data than on emotional marketing.

Brands may increasingly need to optimize for algorithms as well as people, turning advertising from persuasion toward proof and machine-readable trust.

The Internet is starting to reject AI agents.


@IrenaCronin and I write this newsletter every week.

AI agents, like Meta's Muse and GrokBot, are beginning to act as online customers, browsing, comparing, and buying on behalf of people.

As businesses push back, a new battle is emerging over who controls access, customer data, and the relationship between consumers, retailers, and AI platforms.

Incredible opportunity for robotic learning researchers/engineers to join @theworldlabs! ❤️‍🔥

For our free newsletter this week, we discuss when AI makes the decision, who takes the blame.


@IrenaCronin and I write this newsletter every week.

As AI systems become more autonomous and take real-world actions, it is becoming harder to determine who is responsible when something goes wrong. The growing gap between machine decisions and human oversight is creating a major accountability challenge for businesses, developers, and regulators.

We’ve raised $550M at a $15.5B valuation co-led by @lightspeedvp and @DiffusionVC.

We're using this funding to help law firms, in-house legal teams, and professional services build and own their intelligence.

[Humanoid Scott ✈️ CoRL @GoingBallistic5]

RoboStrategy led Maven Robotics' $100M Series A.

Maven is building a general-purpose robotics system for industrial work which includes hardware, software and AI integrated across the robot, the fleet, the factory and the Maven-wide network.

Excited to see them making industrial work possible at the scale the world needs.

For our free newsletter this week, we write on how AI Is creating a machine economy.


@IrenaCronin and I write this newsletter every week.

AI is beginning to create a machine economy in which agents, robots, vehicles, factories, and devices can increasingly buy, sell, negotiate, and make economic decisions on behalf of people and companies.

The result could be a new form of commerce where machines themselves become customers and participants in the economy.

For our free newsletter this week, we write on every machine becoming an AI agent with Physical AI.


@IrenaCronin and I write this newsletter every week.

Physical AI is moving intelligence beyond screens and into robots, vehicles, factories, wearables, appliances, and other machines that can sense, decide, and act in the real world. This shift could turn everyday devices and industrial systems into autonomous AI agents, making safety, trust, and human oversight increasingly important.

NEW: Tim Cook sends a final memo to Apple employees on his last day as CEO. “I will miss this work in ways I can only begin to imagine, even as I remain completely at peace with my decision,” he says, adding he has “enormous comfort” with Ternus in charge. https://t.co/i0FF0JZjZA

[Tim Cook @tim_cook]

Sending lots of love to the Apple community on my last day as CEO. My title changes tomorrow, but the love I have for the Apple community never will. Thank you for being a constant source of inspiration. My gratitude is endless, and I’m excited for the next chapter!

I wrote about how AI agents are starting to spontaneously coordinate in complex (and very risky) ways in the Hugging Face Incident, but also about why we need AIs to reach out to humans more for decisions and input as agentic work becomes more automated. https://t.co/qTMzOUk5w5

[MediaTek @MediaTek]

MediaTek and @nvidia today announced an expansion of their collaboration across AI infrastructure, local AI computing and automotive.

MediaTek will adopt the NVIDIA NVLink Fusion platform, providing hyperscalers, cloud service providers and frontier model developers a more scalable, flexible and faster path from custom XPU design to rack-scale AI factories.
